Objectives: The data presented in this study were collected with the aim of obtaining the complete genomes of specific strains of Bacillus bacteria, namely, Bacillus licheniformis T5. This strain was chosen based on its enzymatic activities, particularly amylolytic activity. In this study, nanopore sequencing technology was employed to obtain the genome sequences of this strain. It is important to note that these data represent a focused objective within a larger research context, which involves exploring the biochemical features of promising Bacilli strains and investigating the relationship between enzymatic activity, phenotypic features, and the microorganisms genome. Data description: In this study, the whole-genome sequence was obtained from one Bacillus strain, Bacillus licheniformis T5, isolated from soil samples in Kazakhstan. Sample preparation and genomic DNA library construction were performed according to the Ligation sequencing gDNA kit (SQK-LSK109) protocol and NEBNext module. The prepared library was sequenced on a MinION instrument (Oxford Nanopore Technologies nanopore sequencer with a maximum throughput of up to 30 billion nucleotides per run and no limit on read length), using a flow cell for nanopore sequencing FLO-MIN106D. The genome de novo assembly was performed using the long sequencing reads generated by MinION Oxford Nanopore platform. Finally, one circular contig was obtained harboring a length of 4,247,430 bp with 46.16% G + C content and the mean contig 428X coverage. B. licheniformis T5 genome assembly annotation revealed 5391 protein-coding sequences, 81 tRNAs, 51 repeat regions, 24 rRNAs, 3 virulence factors and 53 antibiotic resistance genes. This sequence encompasses the complete genetic information of the strain, including genes, regulatory elements, and noncoding regions. The data reveal important insights into the genetic characteristics, phenotypic traits, and enzymatic activity of this Bacillus strain. The findings of this study have particular value to researchers interested in microbial biology, biotechnology, and antimicrobial studies. The genomic sequence offers a foundation for understanding the genetic basis of traits such as endospore formation, alkaline tolerance, temperature range for growth, nutrient utilization, and enzymatic activities. These insights can contribute to the development of novel biotechnological applications, such as the production of enzymes for industrial purposes. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the genetic characteristics, phenotypic traits, and enzymatic activities of the Bacillus licheniformis T5 strain. The acquired genomic sequences contribute to a better understanding of this strain and have implications for various research fields, such as microbiology, biotechnology, and antimicrobial studies.
